I can see Xerox-Fuji on the rise to future victory. With all the moves they are making, u can smell that something is up. I don't think that I can see them having done anything like this in the past, and I also dont see anyone else making moves the way Xerox is. I know the erasable paper has been "coming out" for a while now, but I can feel it in my gut. Xerox is on the rise.
